When news hit the internet in June that the makers of "Idiocracy"
were going to make anti-Donald Trump ads featuring the movie's
most memorable character, fictional US President Elizondo
Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho (Terry Crews), people got excited.

That's only natural: Camacho is the center of the bizarre future
in which everyone has gotten dumber, including our leaders, and
fans loved the idea of applying the character to the current
presidential election.

But Mike Judge, director of "Idiocracy" and creator of HBO hit
"Silicon Valley," told
The Daily Beast that the ads aren't going to happen.

"It was announced that they were anti-Trump, and I would've
preferred to make them and then have the people decide. Terry
Crews had wanted to just make some funny Camacho ads, and Etan
[Cohen] and I had written a few that I thought were pretty funny,
and it just fell apart," said Judge, who cowrote the film's
screenplay with Cohen.

Apparently, Judge was hoping to put the ads out there quietly and
"let them go viral," but it didn't work out that way.

"Doing something satirical like that is better if you just don't
say, 'Here we come with the anti-Trump ads!' Also, when Terry
heard that announcement he wasn't happy about it," he said.
